Karn Family Feud vs. 100 Mexicanos Dijeron

[JMFabiano]

Language differences aside, what do you think is the best modern version of FF we have right now?
(Wish we had a poll option for this, or do we?)

Well...I've only caught snippets of the show because I can't sit through an entire episode without having a frigging clue what's being said.

However, I would say that Karn wins with the set and music and format....but the gameboard is better on the Mexican version. I've always prefered the computer thing to the flip cards.

 That's pretty tough.  In terms of production values, Karn wins.  But CMD just looks like a gosh darn good ol' time.

I'll have to give it to Karn overall though.

 Would someone be kind enough to tell me which station it is that airs reruns of these Hispanic game shows?  And, do they air any others?

I want to say Telemundo. If not that, then Univision. Nevermind, it's Telefutura. :-)

And to answer the question, Karn's Feud definitely has an advantage, just for being so high-tech, although the big screens in the family backdrops are unnecessary. But I loved the Mexican courtyard set, with mosaic tile and plants.

 The only one I know of is the Telefutura Network running 100 Mexicanos Dijeron each weekday at 6 Central.  It's on Chicago's Comcast, but I don't know about others.

What?!? You can't be serious. Of course, being Hispanic, I'm more biased to say that 100MD is the better show by leaps and bounds! They even brought back the lollipops for the late 3rd and 4th season, for crying out loud! Yes, you heard right, lollipops. Apparently, they've been watching Dawson's version, took some ideas, and made them into something spectacular at the end of the fun hour. Call me a purist, but 100MD really does hold true to the classic form, so to speak. They even do the last round perfectly, which astounds me.

The Mexican courtyard set does change in the late 2003 episodes, and so does the music, but it is vastly improved now than it is...well...now. Um...yeah...

We do get the reruns on Telefutura at 7pm E/P (6pm C). Here in Los Angeles, it is KFTR-46, meaning you could watch it on broadcast TV without cable. Then again, this is L.A....where at least half the people know quite a bit of Spanish. However, the eps we get here are at least a year and maybe a month or two behind.

In Mexico, they have shiny new episodes on Canal de las Estrellas at...3pm in Morelia, D.F., Mexico City, and that general region where I was not too long ago. Gosh, how I miss those new episodes.

I really would suggest watching that show at least once to see what it's like, even if you don't speak Spanish. Who knows...maybe you might learn something!

They were just added when Karn came aboard as a throwback to the classic era backdrops...personally, I like them much better than the tiny overhead monitors w/the fam names used during the Louie era.

 Depends on what you mean.  The triple round... three strikes.  If there is another round after that, it's one strike, and that's not true to form.

But Karn does the same thing.

I'm in a toss-up on these 2 shows. I've seen bits and pieces of the Spanish version. I like it when Antonio (the host) says "iLa encuesta dice!" or "iEs la respuesta Numero Uno!"

And what's more interesting is that losing horn sound in Fast Money. I chuckle often when I hear that sound.

As for Karn, well, I like it that some of the classic stuff is back, say the family name behind the team, returning champs, etc.

Telefutura is available over-the-air in many hispanic markets, especially markets that had both Home Shopping and Univision over-the-air before Telefutura started, like Los Angeles, San Francisco, Dallas, Tampa Bay, Miami, Chicago and New York, among others.

 Yep, and here in Dallas, KHSX-49 had HSN, before dropping that in 1999 and becoming KSTR-49 (pronounced KSTAR), and became an Independent station, airing classic stuff.

Then, in 2002, it became the home to Telefutura, on January 14. I'm starting to get used to it, too.

Marco Antonio Regil, who also hosted the Mexican version of TPiR, is the host of 100MD.

100MD, by the way, is now closed-captioned in Spanish, so you can read what's being said, and get out your trusty Spanish-English dictionary.

"La encuesta dice..."="Survey says..."

"Es la respuesta numero uno"="It's the number one answer."

My favorite part of the show is when, after each "X" that appears in the main game, Marco says "strike", which is the only English word, save for a few answers, that carries over into the Mexican version.  Because of the intricacies of Spanish, Marco says, "un estrike" [1 strike] but is captioned as "un strike".  They say "strike" because of the baseball analogy, baseball being as much a pastime in Mexico as it is here.

Actually, I knew those 2 phrases, byrd62.

And it's been 3 years since I last took Spanish class!

Okay, here's how it works...

Single, Single, Single, DOBLE!, TRIPLE!, Muerte Subita

For "Sudden Death," there is one strike, but at least it's not only one answer like the Karn version. There is always three answers for Muerte Subita, so there is a little strategy in the passing/playing. To me, having one answer in the last round is really not working...that's what I meant. Plus, we see Round 6 played once in a blue moon.....how many times in the Dawson version was there a SIXTH round played?
